What is Teeth Whitening Treatment?

Teeth whitening is a cosmetic dental procedure that lightens the colour of your teeth without removing any enamel. Everyday habits like coffee, tea, and certain foods can stain your teeth. Your teeth may become dull, and your smile may appear less vibrant. 

Using whitening systems constituting hydrogen peroxide, our dentists offer teeth whitening treatment that gently breaks down stains and discolouration, leaving your smile noticeably brighter after just one session. These skilled dental professionals ensure that your whitening treatment at Hilltop Dental is safe, efficient, and designed for long-lasting results.

How the Professional Teeth Whitening Procedure Works

  1. Oral Examination and Assessment
    Before treatment, your dentist performs a complete oral health check to ensure your teeth and gums are healthy. We can whiten your teeth only if there are no untreated cavities or gum concerns. 
  2. Shade Assessment
    Using a digital scanner, we take a scan of your teeth and record your current tooth shade to set a baseline and measure progress throughout the whitening regime. 
  3. Cleaning and Preparation
    We professionally clean the teeth and apply a protective barrier to your gums and soft tissues for maximum safety and comfort.
  4. Application of the Whitening Agent

    One of our dental professionals will apply a high-strength whitening gel to your teeth and activate it for faster, brighter results — all carried out safely under expert supervision.

FAQs

Does Teeth Whitening Hurt?

Most patients find the procedure completely comfortable. However, a few may experience temporary tooth sensitivity or mild gum irritation during or after treatment. This typically feels like a short, sharp sensation when consuming cold items and fades within 24–48 hours. Our whitening techniques and aftercare guidance help minimize discomfort, ensuring your experience is as smooth as possible.

How Long Does the Whitening Effect Last?

The longevity of your whitening results depends on your lifestyle and dietary habits — particularly consumption of coffee, wine, coloured foods, and tobacco.

With proper care and good oral hygiene, results typically last between 1 and 2 years. To maintain your brighter smile, we recommend:

  • Occasional top-up whitening sessions
  • Using custom whitening trays every few months
  • Maintaining a consistent dental cleaning routine

At Hilltop Dental Birmingham, our goal is to help you enjoy your whiter, healthier smile for as long as possible.

Will teeth whitening make my teeth sensitive?
